The All Progressives Congress has said the rash of wild accusations against the APC-led Federal Government has confirmed itsearlier statement that the People’s Democratic Party has perfected plans to distract the Buhari Administration from its onerous task of reviving the country’s fortunes.
”The PDP is wondering why we are not responding to the wild accusations emanating from their futile imagination. It is because we consider the accusations nothing but an irritant,” the party said in a statement issued in Lagos on Sunday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed.
It said there is no doubt that in issuing his bombastic statements, the PDP spokesman most often mistakes the APC for his party, hence he keeps attributing to the APC the failings of his own party, the same failings that have propelled the former ruling party into the opposition.
”Mr. Metuh wrote that ‘this administration must come to terms with the fact that democracy requires accountability, adherence to the rule of law and constitutional order’. Very interesting, because if the PDP had known all that, it would still have remained in power at the centre.
”It is therefore clear that the PDP spokesman has been so traumatised by the defeat of his party that he sometimes imagines he is writing about the APC when indeed he is listing the failings of his fallen party, the PDP,” APC said.
On a personal note, the party challenged Mr. Metuh to substantiate the claim in his Sunday statement about contracts allegedly awarded to the APC National Spokesman or be ready to do so in court.
”For the avoidance of any doubt, the APC spokesman has never been involved in any airport fencing contract in Osun or any deal involving fraudulent purchase or supply of ambulances anywhere in Nigeria,” it said.
APC insisted that Mr. Metuh is mortally afraid that he could be consumed by the ongoing anti-corruption battle, because of the
allegations of graft hanging on his neck, as contained in published petitions to the anti-graft agencies from within his own party, rather than mere conjecture from anyone.
”Mr. Metuh’s assault on the Buhari Administration’s anti-corruption battle is a futile attempt at saving his own neck and that of his party. Unfortunately, it is too late in the day for them, going by the quantum of allegations against them,” the party said.

ReplyDeleteI tire for APC, talking like children always. If u are accused of anything, what u need to do is defend it and not talk about defeat of PDP after all elections are over.
DeleteIf those criticisms are distracting you, that means you dont have any programme in the first place.
ReplyDelete@adewale korede. Say whatever you will, the fact remains that PDP partied with our common wealth in the last 16 years of their stay in power and they forgot that they are there for all. Most of the criticisms by the APC were later found out to be true when PDP lost power. Metuh should shut up if he has no facts or something constructive to say about this govt. Why has he not commented about the 8th senate that has remained inactive since its inauguration? Ho! I get it, is it bcos one of its own is the vice to the occupier of the presidency? Time will judge all this tantrism.
ReplyDeleteMy frend pls do us a favor....shut up....criticism is very good for our democracy,so dnt be annoyed if PDP speaks,cuz dat was d same way APC was busy attacking jonathan....so dey shuld just focus on governance,n accept d fact dat criticism must come...
DeleteThis government should wakeup and stop deceiving ordinary Nigerians because critical issues have to be addressed and not media propaganda as Lai Mohammed is doing with APC.
